I never understood the “Glocks are ugly” bit. I guess it has something to do with different people's sense of beauty.

From an engineering and martial arts perspective, I can tell you that Glocks are the most beautiful handgun there is. Rugged simplicity, utter reliability, brutal efficiency. To a lifelong martial artist – this is the epitome of beauty.

There is nothing more beautiful than knowing without a doubt, when your life depends on it and you need that bullet to fire, that it will. No suspense, no doubt. It fires, the gun is dirty, muddy, uncleaned. It still fires. Flawless.
